Problem with that is that 3.14 is only an approximation of pi. Pi is an irrational number whose tail continues to infinity. I personally don't like to deal in approximations (coming from me - HA), and I don't think this puzzle was madde with approximations in mind.

Come to think of it, 2.718 is only an approximation of e as well.

The Mayans did put a large space between the different parts of their numbers (eg between the 60's and the 1's places) to keep them separated and distinct. It's like putting 1 in front of 0, instead of overlapping them, to make 10.
